Maith sibh a pháistí nár chaill aon lá scoile i mbliana!

Maith sibh a pháistí nár chaill aon lá scoile i mbliana.

Well done to the children who had full unbroken attendance this year.

Tuismitheoirí Rang 5 & 6 (!)

A thuistí,

Seans gur chuala sibh nár bhain na páistí árd-taitneamh as an turas scoile go dtí an Mardyke i mbliana. Rinneamar gearán faoi sin agus tá áthas orm a rá gur eirigh linn cuid den gcostas a fháil ar ais uathu. Uaidh sin táimíd ag ceapadh go mbeadh sé deas turas eile a eagrú dóibh i Mi Mean Fomhair nuair a thagann siad ar ais ag úsáid an t-airgead a shábháileamar. Seans go mbeidh costas beag breise ar an mbus ach ní morán a bheidh ann ní dóigh liom.

Guím samhradh iontach dos na páistí iontacha agus daoibh ar fad!

Sinéad Ní Mhurchú

Dear parents,

I'm sure you all are aware that this year's 4th & 5th class school tour to Mardyke wasn't everything we had hoped it would be. There was no major incident or anything but we felt the activities were inappropriately "young" for our group. We made a complaint and they are happy to refund most of the cost of the tour. I think it would be nice to spend this money on a different activity/tour for that group in September. They were exceptionally well behaved and polite on the day and it will be nice to treat them. There may be a small cost for the bus etc but we'll see iin September and I'm sure it won't be too much.

I wish all our wonderful children and you a lovely summer break!

Sinéad Ní Mhurchú, príomhoide.

Gach tuismitheoir! Every parent!

A chairde!

Fé mar is eol daoibh ar fad beimíd ag críochnú suas amárach, 27/06/'14, do laethanta saoire an tsamhraidh. Beidh na naí-ranganna (& deartháireacha & deirfiúracha níos sinne) le bailiú ag 12.00 meanlae agus ranganna 1-5 le bailiú ag 12.15. Beidh muintir an bhus ag críochnú ag 12.00 chomh maith. 

Mar is gnách, beidh lá spraoi ag na páistí amárach. Tá cead acu 2 rud beag a bhreith leo ar scoil chomh maith le bréagáin. Mar i gconaí níl cead acu leithéidí iPad srl (nó aon bréagáin ró-chostasach) a bhreith leo ar eagla go mbrisfí iad. Ní féidir leis an scoil a bheith freagrach as aon damáiste nó dochar a d'fhéadfadh tárlú ar scoil d'aon bréagán a thabharfar isteach mar sin molaim daoibh a bheith coinsiasach faoi sin!

Dear parents,

As you are all aware we will be finishing up tomorrow 27th June '14 for the summer holidays. The junior classes, along with their older brothers and sisters, should be collected at 12 noon and classes 1-5 should be collected or will be free to go from 12.15. The children that take the bus will be free to go from 12.00 also.

As usual at the end of term, the children will have a fun day at school. They may bring 2 small treats as well as a toy to play with. As always they are not permitted to bring in expensive iPad type toys and I would ask you to be very conscious of the fact that the school will accept no responsibility for any damage or breakages when you are choosing which toy to bring in!

Le gach dea-ghuí,

Sinéad Ní Mhurchú

Mar chríoch don obair faoin bhfarraige á dhéanamh ag rang a ceathair beidh siad ag siúl chuig an siopa éisc 'Crafty Cod' amárach an Céadaoin an 25/6/14. Beidh suirbhé á dhéanamh ag na páistí ar na héisc ann. Má tá am againn tar éis déanfaimid píosa beag gan cnámha a cócairáil is a bhlaiseadh thar n-ais ar scoil.

To finish up a year long sea project, fourth class will walk to the Crafty Cod fish shop tomorrow 25/6/2014 . There they will carry out a survey on the fish for sale. Time etc permitting we may then cook and taste a small bit of fresh de-boned fish when back in school.

Bob a Job fundraiser

Gabhaimid buíochas libh go léir a thacaigh leis an ocáid tiomsaithe airgid "Bob a Job" le déanaí. Cruimmíodh €1,200! Úsáidfear cuid den airgead seo chun trealamh imeartha nua a cheannach don chlós Mí Mheán Fómhair seo chugainn.

Bhuaigh na Naíonáin Shínsearacha an duais i gcóir an cuid is mó bob a jobs déanta acu agus gheobhfaidh siad rud beag an tseachtain seo chugainn. Maith sibh agus go raibh míle maith agaibh arís.

Páistí an Chéad Comaoineach / First Holy Communion Children

MEABHRÚCHÁN / REMINDER

Dear Parents,

Our final ceremony in the "Do This In Memory" programme will take place this Sunday, 22nd June 2014 at the 12 noon Mass in the St John the Baptist Church. As it is the feast of Corpus Christi the children who received their First Holy Communion this year are invited to participate in the procession around the town, wearing their beautiful Holy Communion clothes.

Before the final blessing on Sunday at Mass, I will ask the Holy Communion children and their parents to leave the church to join in the procession.  This should help avoid the children getting caught up in the rush at the end of Mass.  The procession will return to the Church for Benediction.  Children will sit in the front rows and parents can meet their children there at the end of the ceremony.

I hope you and your family can attend as it is a beautiful occasion and a wonderful way to complete a very special year.

I look forward to seeing you.  

Yours sincerely,

Fr Robert Young PP

Beidh costas €1 ar na cácaí.

Just a reminder about the cake sale that fourth class will organise tomorrow 19.06.2014. We would be very grateful if children/parents could donate small cakes (buns etc.) for the cake sale. The children will be allowed to buy the cakes in school at the cake sale. Each cake will cost €1.

Mile buíochas

Rang 5 -Bliots Rugbaí

A chairde,

Fuaireamar cuireadh inniú chun páirt a ghlacadh i mbliots rugbaí áitiúl dos na hardranganna. Is dóigh liom go mbeadh sé deas do Rang 5 a bheith amuigh faoin aer arís agus ag meascadh leis na páistí ó na scoileanna eile áitiúla mar sin tá Rang 5 chun páirt a ghlacadh ann ar an Déardaoin an19ú Meitheamh 2014 ón 10-1. Beidh siad ag fáilt bus ann mar sin beidh costas €3 ar gach pháiste. Beidh siad thar nais in am don díolacháin cácaí! Brón orm faoi bheith ag lorg airgead uaibh chomh minic na laethanta seo ach tá na busanna san an-daor go deo agus níl an díolacháin cácaí riachtanach. Ba cheart ungadh gréine a bheith ar gach pháiste don bliots.

Dear parents,

We've been invited to participate in a senior classes rugby blitz. I think it'd be nice for the children to be out inthe air and also to mix with the other schools so I've agreed for 5th class to participate on Thursday 19th June 2014 between 10-1. They will be getting a bus there and back therefore it will be €3 per child. They'll be back at school just in time for the cake sale! I feel bad to be asking you all for money so regularly these days but the buses are expensive and the cake sale is for a good cause, but not essential. Every child should be wearing sunscreen and hats if possible for the blitz.

Múinteoir Sinéad

Tuismitheoirí Rang 5 / Parents of 5th Class

Beidh Blitz Rugbaí ag Rang 5 ar an Déardaoin 19/06/2014. Beimid ag fágaint na scoile thart ar 9.30 r.n. agus teacht thar nais thart ar 12.00 i.n. Beidh costas €3 ar an mbus do gach páiste. Bíodh na héadaí spóirt scoile ar na páistí. Beidh siad thar nais i gcóir an díolachán cácaí! Go raibh míle maith agaibh.

5th Class will have a tag rugby blitz on Thursday 19/06/2014. We will be leaving the school at 9.30 a.m. approx. and coming back at 12.00 p.m. approx. There will be a cost of €3 per child for the bus. The children should wear their sports clothes. They will be back in time for the cake sale! Thanks very much.

Gach Rang -Down's Syndrome "Fun Days"

Beidh uachtar reoite á fáilt ag na páistí ar son Siondróm Dún amárach, 18.06.2014, tar éis an la spóirt. Gnáth-bhloc HB le wafer a bheidh i gceist ann. Táimíd ag bailiú airgead don gcarthannacht san mar sin seolaigí isteach €2 an pháiste le bhur dtola. Seachas na Naíonáin Bheaga a bhailigh €53 ar son Barnardos don Toddle Mhóir. Nílimíd chun iarraidh oraibh €2 a sheoladh isteach arís! Ach gan amhras, má theastaíonn uaibh urraíocht a thabhairt is féidir! Tá an t-ádh dearg linn leis an aimsir iontach atá á fáilt againn faoi láithir ach tá sé go huile is go hiomlán riachtanach go bhfuil ungadh gréine le scáileáin árd, agus hata más féidir, ar gach pháiste ag teacht ar scoil gach lá faoi láithir.

The children will be getting an ice-cream tomorrow,18.06.2014, after the Sport's Day. It will be the old fashioned HB block with 2 wafers. We're doing it in aid of Downs Syndrome Ireland Fundays so please send €2 in with the children except Junior Infants whose parents already donated a total of €53 to Barnardos for the Big Toddle! So we won't be asking you to contribute again to this, unless of course you wish to do so. It is for a good cause as always and the children do love an ice-cream on a hot day! We're so lucky with this amazing weather we're having! It's absolutely essential that every child has a high factor sunscreen on them every day now and a sun hat too, if possible.

Múinteoir Sinéad 

Lá Spóirt is Uachtar Gréine / Suncream for Sports Day

Mar is eol daoibh beidh lá spóirt againn amárach, Céadaoin 18.06.2014. Beimid amuigh faoin ngriain don lá ar fad. Mar sin tá sé an-tábhachtach go mbeidh uachtar gréine ar gach uile pháiste amárach.

As you know, we will have our sports day tomorrow, Wednesday 18/06/2014. We will be out under the sun for the whole day. As a result, it is imperative that every child is protected from the sun with adequate suncream and hats if possible.

Buíochas

Díolachán Cácaí / Cake sale

Meabhrúchán daoibh mar gheall ar an díolachán cácaí ar son UNICEF a bheidh á eagrú ag rang a ceathair ar an Déardaoin seo an 19.06.2014. Bheimis an-bhuíoch dá mbeadh tuismitheoirí / páistí in ann cácaí beaga (bunóga srl..) a thabhairt isteach don díolachán. Beidh cead ag na páistí iad a cheannach ar scoil ar an lá. Beidh costas €1 ar na cácaí.

Just a reminder about the cake sale that fourth class will organise on Thursday 19.06.2014. We would be very grateful if children/parents could donate small cakes in school at the cake sale. Each cake will cost €1.

Rang 3, 4 & 5: Léinte spóirt scoile

A thuismitheoirí, 

An mhiste libh féachaint sa bhaile i gcóir léinte spóirt scoile a bhíonn á caitheamh ag na páistí do chluichí CLG. Tá uimhreacha 2, 3, 5 & 15 ar iarraidh ó léinte aois/tóise 10-11 AGUS uimhireacha 1 (-Cúl báire) 3, 4, 6, 7 agus 10 ar iarraidh ó aois/tóise 13. Táid an-chostasach le ceannach dá bhrí sin bheinn an-bhuíoch dá bhféachadh sibh tríd éadaí do pháiste le bhur dtola.

Dear parents, 

Can I ask you all to have a look at home for some of our school GAA jerseys. From size/age 10-11 numbers 2, 3, 5 & 15 are missing and from size/age 13 numbers 1 (goalie) 3, 4, 6, 7 & 10 are gone walkabout! They are very expensive to replace so I'd really appreciate if you could look through your laundry and children's clothes. We'll be delighted to get them back as we understand they would be left at home in error.

Súil agam go bhfuil sibh ag baint taitneamh as an aimsir álainn!

Díolachán Cácaí / Cake Sale Thursday, June 19th 2014

Beidh díolachán cácaí á eagrú ag rang a ceathair ar an Déardaoin an 19ú Meitheamh 2014 ar son UNICEF. Bheimid an-bhuíoch dá dtabharfadh tuismitheoirí na scoile / páistí cácaí beaga istigh dúinn. Glacfaimid go buíoch le cácaí déanta ag an mbaile nó ceannaithe. Cácaí beaga (bunága) atá i gceist is beidh cead ag na páistí go léir iad a cheannach ar scoil ar an lá.
Beidh ranganna na Naíonáin ar a dturas scoile ar an lá sin ach is féidir leo airgead a thabhairt isteach i gcóir UNICEF chomh maith má tá fonn orthu.
Míle buíochas.

Fourth class are organising a cake sale in aid of UNICEF on Thursday, June 19th 2014. We would be very grateful if school parents / children could donate cakes, either homemade or bought. Small cakes (buns etc.) would be ideal as all children will have a chance to purchase the cakes in school on the day.
Junior and Senior Infants will be on their school tour that day but they can bring in money also for UNICEF if they wish.
Sincere thanks

Tuismitheoirí Rang 3

A chairde, 

Ba cheart go dtiocfadh na páistí ar scoil ins na héadaí a bheidh ag fáilt salach, ullamh le tosnú. Ba cheart an éide scoile spóirt a bheith sa mhála acu le athrú isteach ann tar éis na gníomhaíochtaí. Cuimhnígí go mbeidh orthu taistil ar bhus go dtí an áit mar sin seans go mbeadh "wet suit" tiubh an-the orthu. Is fúibh ata sé.

Dear parents,

The children should come to school dressed, and ready to start their outdoor activities, in clothes that will be getting dirty and/or wet. They should bring a dry school sports uniform to change into after the activities. Remember they will have to sit in a bus for a while to travel to the venue, therefore a thick wetsuit might be too warm and uncomfortable for this. 

Súil agam go mbeidh an-la acu!

Turasanna Scoile

Tá cead ag na páistí 2 rud beag  milis a bhreith leo ar an turas scoile amárach. Tá sé mínithe agam leo gan dul thar fóir leis na milseáin ach suas le 2 rud a thabhairt leo. Ní ghá gur milseáin ata i gceist ach briosca, bunóg, deoch. Pé rud a cheapann sibh a bheadh oiriúnach. Na seolaigí deochanna spraoi, guma cogainte nó pís-cnónna le bhur dtola.

Ta Rang 4 & 5 ag iarraidh rudaí a cheannach ag na hinneal milseáin ag an Mardyke. Níl aon fhadb ró-mhór agam leis sin ann féin ach ná bíodh níos mó ná €2 acu. Má tá na hinneal briste nó má chailleann siad a gcuid airgid ní bheidh aon leigheas againn ar an scéal mar sin ní dóigh liom go bhuil sé ró-chiallmhar a bheith ag braith orthu áfach.

The children may bring up to 2 small treats with them on their school tours tomorrow. I've been around and told them not to go over the top with the treats and to limit it to 2 small things for themselves, not for the class or anything like that! I'll leave the decision up to yourselves but a treat could be a biscuit, bun, scone, drink or whatever. Whatever you feel is appropriate. No chewing gum, fizzy drinks or peanuts please. 

5th class seem to be particularly taken with the idea of buying their treats at the vending machines in Mardyke. I have no major concerns about this but no child should bring more than €2. If the machines are broken or they lose their money we won't be able to help them out in any way so I don't think they should rely on the machines for treats.

Tá súil agam go mbeidh lá den scoth acu ar fad!

Seo Faisin as Fraincis / French fashion show (26/5/2014)

Bhí na daltaí ag obair go dian sa rang Fraincise, Rang 5, i rith na seachtaine. Rinne siad Seo Faisin as Fraincis an tseachtain seo caite. Rinne siad cur síos ar a n-éadaí as Fraincis. Thug siad cuireadh don Rang 4 agus Rang 3 agus bhain siad árd -taitneamh as. Comhghairdeas Rang 5! Bhí a gcuid oibre ar fheabhas ar fad! Táimid go léir bródúil astu!

Children of rang 5 organised a French fashion show as part of their French class on 26th May 2014. The children designed their outfits and described them in French. They invited rang 4 & 3 to the show which was a real success. Well done to all of them for their work and their impressive French. We are very proud of them.
